Problem is that I cannot shut down and I have to do it manually by holding the power button. The next time I try to boot the machine it gets stuck at the Windows XP loading screen. I tried to load the computer in safe mode to see if I can shut it down normally, but as soon as safe mode has loaded the power cuts out. Please can you help? I don't believe that it's a hardware failure. I have to try to load 'last known good configuration' every time just to try to boot normally. Thanks in advance Girish
